A media blast is a much safer way to go. Or you could have them dipped.

ive heard the dip can mess them up... but i went and got em blasted... Came out REALLY ****** nice... it had a kinda rough surface so the primer stuck really well... and it was free sailing from there... looks reall nice now.

Yeah, I usually have my wheels sandblasted or bead blasted before powdercoating or painting.

Paint/powdercoat sticks so much better and the primer smooths out the roughness.
